WINDING MACHINE. APPLICATION HPBD MAI 21. 1906.

w a? M M Bm f e T H T Thumb-Mahat f I Be it known'that I, Wnmum 0.Panama citizen of the United States; residing at Charlestown, in the ingdrawing.-

county of Washington and State of Rhode Island, have invented certainnew and. useful Improvements in Winding-Machines, of which the followingis a-specification, reference being My invention relates for windingfabrics,

particularly elastic and webbing; and has for its primary objects, adisplay of the fabric for inspection before beaming, means for properlytensioning the fabric the operations of the machine, a cheap and andnovel stopping and starting means, together with a combined tension anddisplay device.

Fig. 6, a sideelevation of the same taken opposite to Fig. 1, and Figs. 7 and 8,detail sectional views of parts of the clamping devices.

The frame, 1, of my machine may be of any form of construction suitablefor carrying the several details of mechanisnl. In the; form thereofherein shown, it comprises essentially three sets of vertically disposedsupports, 2, 8, 4; each of the supports2 and 3 being provided with upperand lower transverse'strips, 5, 6 and 7 ,"8, respectively. The strips, 5and 7, support one end of a table 9whose outer end is sustained bysupports, 10.

Journaled in the strips,.5 and 7, are shafts, 11 and 12; in strips 6 and8 are jom'naled shafts, l3 and 14. Upon shafts 11 and 13 respectivelyarefixed cone pulleys, 15 and 16, connected by an open belt, 17; uponshafts, '12

I and 14, are fixed speed pulleys, 18 and 19, respectively,

connected by a belt, 20. A movable spool or beam, 21, has one of itsends, 22, resting in a central opening in the enlarged inner end of theshaft, 12 or pulley 18.

' A pin, 233 a fixed in the roll adjacent the end, 22,

adapted to enter an orifice in the enlarged end ofthe shaft, 12'; Theouter end, 24, of thespool rests in a stud, 25, on the support, 4.Theshaft, 11, is driven from any source of power through a belt, 26, onthe 'STATESPATENT OFFIC p FVILLIAMI PERRY, 0F oHAaLEs'rowN, anonnrsmnn.

had therein to the accompany- Patented eta-1,1957;

.driving wheel, 27. The wheel, 27, is loosely mounted on the shaft,11,-with its inneriace -contacting with the face of a disk, 28, fixed tothe shaft, 11, by the screw, 29. Pivoted by a pin, 30, to the outer endof the shaft,

11, which projects beyond the outer face of the wheel,

27, is a bifurcated cam; 31, provided with a handle, 32. As shown inFig. 7, the cam has a curved face contacting with the outer face of thewheel, 27 The broken lines in the figure indicate the position of thecam when not operatively engaging the wheel, 27 When the cam is elevatedas shown in full lines, the cam presses upon the face of the wheel andforms, with the disk, 28, a frictional clutch device for the wheelandshaft, 11. The shaft, .12, .which is driven from shaft, 11, by belt,17, carries upon its outer end a pulley, 33, which by a belt, 34, drivesa pulley, 35, upon the outer endof shaft, 12. I

A convenient shipping device for the described driving mechanism of thespool comprises a transverse threaded bar, 36, rotatably mounted'in themachine frame and provided with an operating crank handle,

37 Above and below the bar, 36, are fixed rods, 38, parallel with thebar and which serve as guides for a block, 39, which is mounted totravel on the bar as the latter is turned. Uponeach side of the block 39pro-' ject'roller couplets, 40 and 41, whichact simultaneously upon thereceivingand delivery sides of the cone belt,"17'.. I

Upon the inner end of the table are .two posts','42, to which arepivoted an arched bar, 42', which rests upofthdwebbing block, of fabric,43, A pin, 44, upon the table intermediate and equidistant the posts 42,traverses the central opening of the webbing block and forms a pivottherefor. Upon the -outer end of the table extension are pivoted twovertical rollers, 45 and 46; and upon the table near the webbing block,a vertical roller, 47. Beds, 48 and 49, are'mounted transversely uponthe table adjacent and intermediate the rollers, 46 and 47 respectively.The rods are respectively provided with the roller series, 48 and 49.Vertical guide pins, 50, are fixed in the table near the block; and aguide roller 'or pin, 51, is also fixed upon the table margin near theroller, 47.

spool ,21, but in a higher plane is a guiderail designated in a generalway by 52. It comprises in detail a base,

' 53,and side rails, 54. A horizontal sprocket wheel, 55,

is mounted near the outer end of the base, 53, of the guide rail, whilea similar wheel, 56, rotating in the inner end of the guide rail, ismounted upon the upper a carriage which rests upon the rails, 54, and isguarded against lateral displacement by a guide plate, 65, fixed to thebottom of the base intermediate the rails. Rising from the rear marginof the carriagebase is a fork, 66; and mounted on the front of the baseis a horizontal roller, 67. An arm, 68, projects downwardly andforwardly. from the carriage base, having a cylindrical bearing member,69, in which is vertically mounted a rectangular frame or guide, 70,capable of horizontal adjustment by a nut, 71, upon its lower extremityin contact with the lower end of the frame, 70.

The operation of my machine is as follows: The block of webbing strip,is mounted upon the table, and retained in horizontal plane by thegravity of bar, 42. The free end of the strip, 72, is passed between thepins, 50, and around the vertical rollers, 45, 47, 46, and 51, with ahalf turn adjacent each of said rollers whereby in conjunction with thehorizontal intermediate rollers, 48, 49, over which the strip alsopasses, both faces .of the strip are caused to pass alternately andrepeatedly before the observer. The strip passes from the roller or pin,51, through the carriage, fork, 66, over the roller 67, and through theframe 7 0, to the spool, to which the end of the strip is fixed andwhereon the strip is to be wound.

The machine is put into operation by elevating the cam handle, 32, tohorizontal position whereby the spool 21 is rotated through the pulleys,15, 16, 33 and 34. The strip is fed in layers upon the spool by thereciprocating carriage mechanism which is actuated through pulleys, 18and 19, gears and 59, sprocket drivers 56 and 55,

and chain 61.

i As the diameter of the spool increases the speed of the spool may berelatively modified by turning the handle 37 of the shipper. Uponoccasion the machine is stopped by depressing the cam handle, 32. Whenfilled the spool 31 is removed by firstliiting its end, 24, out of itsseat, 25.
